Arashi character

803/4154

𪨢 is a rare Japanese kanji—a character used in Japanese writing—read arashi (“storm”). Taiwan’s character registry also lists it for personal names with Mandarin reading xià, so a Taiwanese name does not automatically mean “storm.”

Text symbol

What 𪨢 means

In Japanese, 𪨢 reads arashi (“storm”); the familiar spelling is 嵐.

An older Japanese character reference, 國字考, cites 𪨢 only in notes for 颪, a character for wind descending a mountain. A later dictionary calls it a kokuji (a character made in Japan), but questions whether it may instead be 山下 (“mountain below”) written as one graph. An eighth-century poem uses arashi for mountain wind; later Japanese sources also use the word for severe weather and upheaval. That word history does not date this spelling.

Use the storm reading only when Japanese context supports it.

A Taiwanese name is not automatically a storm message.

Why does 𪨢 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
